Major League Baseball loses a legend and a really good guy.

Donald Trump is in Scotland and gets some major wins.

And a judge makes an insane ruling about the defunding of Planned Parenthood.

News

Here is some news:

• A federal judge has blocked enforcement of a key provision in President Donald Trump’s recently enacted “One Big Beautiful Bill” that sought to strip Planned Parenthood and its affiliates of Medicaid funding. The provision, though not mentioning Planned Parenthood by name, was written to bar Medicaid dollars for one year to healthcare providers performing abortions and receiving more than $800,000 in annual Medicaid reimbursements—a description that, in practice, applied almost exclusively to Planned Parenthood.
  • Judge Indira Talwani, based in Boston, ruled that the law likely violated the Constitution on multiple grounds:
    • Bill of Attainder: The judge held that Congress unconstitutionally singled out Planned Parenthood for punitive treatment without a judicial trial, effectively targeting the organization vicariously through legislative language.
    • Equal Protection & First Amendment: The ruling also found that the law infringed on the equal protection rights of Planned Parenthood members and may have violated their freedom of association, since it penalized clinics merely associated with Planned Parenthood—even those not performing abortions themselves.
    • Judge Talwani issued a nationwide preliminary injunction, ensuring that all Planned Parenthood clinics can continue to bill Medicaid for services while the litigation works through the courts
• Donald Trump was in Scotland this weekend and things went pretty well.
  • The trade deal with the European Union will “provide Americans with unprecedented levels of market access to the European Union,” the White House said Monday afternoon, noting that it rebalances the economic relationship between the two countries, “marks a generational modernization of the transatlantic alliance.”
    • Under the terms of the deal, the United States and European Union reached a Cooperation Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair and Balanced Trade, enabling American farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and manufacturers to increase their exports and expand their opportunities as well as reduce the goods trade deficit with the European Union.
    • The European Union will purchase $750 billion of United States energy exports during the duration of the president’s time in office, strengthening American energy dominance and reducing Europe’s reliance on Russia. The EU will also invest $600 billion in the United States throughout the president’s term, in addition to over $100 billion invested in the United States every year by EU companies.
  • Also, during his British travels, the president negotiated a ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia.
    • “Just spoke to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand and Prime Minister of Cambodia. I am pleased to announce that, after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both Countries have reached a CEASEFIRE and PEACE,” Trump said on Truth Social Monday.
    • “Congratulations to all! By ending this War, we have saved thousands of lives. I have instructed my Trade Team to restart negotiations on Trade. I have now ended many Wars in just six months — I am proud to be the President of PEACE!”
  • He threatened Russia with more economic penalties if they don’t end the fighting with Ukraine.
    • “We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city, like Kyiv, and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever,” Trump said Monday. “You have bodies lying all over the street. And I said, ‘That’s not the way to do it.’”
    • “I’m going to make the new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today. There’s no reason in waiting,” he added. “We just don’t see any progress being made.”
  • He also addressed the rumors of starvation in Gaza and Bibi’s denial that there is starvation.
    • “We’re gonna be getting some good, strong food,” the president noted. “We can save a lot of people. Those kids — that’s real starvation. I see it. You can’t fake that.”
    • “We’re gonna be even more involved,” he added. “We did some airlifts, airdrops. And the people are running for it. And, the PM is gonna help us, they’re very effective with that. It’s not very hard to do.”
• Ryne Sandberg, Hall of Fame second baseman and Chicago Cubs legend, died on July 28, 2025, at the age of 65 after a long battle with metastatic prostate cancer.
  • Sandberg was first diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in January 2024 and underwent intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
  • He was initially declared cancer-free in August 2024, but in December the cancer returned and spread to other organs.
  • Sandberg passed away at his home in Illinois, surrounded by family.
  • Sandberg was celebrated as one of the greatest second basemen in baseball history, renowned for his combination of power, speed, and defensive excellence during his 16-season MLB career, most notably with the Chicago Cubs.
  • He was a 10-time All-Star, the 1984 National League MVP, and won nine consecutive Gold Glove awards.
  • Sandberg was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005 and is remembered as an icon both for his athletic achievements and his sportsmanship.
